US energy secretary deletes post about Navy escorting vessel through Strait of Hormuz US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright on Tuesday deleted a post on X which had said the US Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian threats to attack vessels passing through the narrow waterway.

Iran has all but blocked the waterway following the launch of the February 28 US-Israeli airstrikes on the country that triggered the war.
